Today on #WorldLeukemiaDay, we're helping to shed light on leukemia during #BloodCancerAwarenessMonth! 🗓️ We are here for support, resources and education for patients and families 👉 bit.ly/3wTBo2d Acute Leukemia Advocates Network (ALAN)

Do you know how induced pluripotent #stemcells are created? Dr. Mick Bhatia explains how they can be used to create new therapies for human disease in this animated video. View it here ⬇️ ScienceLiteracyWeek #scienceliteracyweek #scilit

Drs. John Dick and Stuart Orkin also selected Prof. Yannick Benoit from Université d'Ottawa | University of Ottawa for his research on the epigenetic mechanisms affecting cancer stem cells in colorectal tumours.

Theres just over 2 weeks left before BBSRS 2023! We can't wait to share all the amazing research happening in the BBS department, including our lineup of oral presenters! To see our full lineup, as well as event details please visit us at macbbsrs.wordpress.com/oral-speaker-p…

BBSRS 2023 starts tomorrow with our virtual launch and career panel! There's still time to register for the virtual launch, to do so please visit macbbsrs.wordpress.com/how-to-registe…

Dr. Mickie Bhatia's team at McMaster Biochemistry & Biomedical Sciences showed properties of adult tumors converge with #hPSCs drug-induced differentiation in a germ layer-specific manner, thereby expanding the understanding of cancer #stemness and #pluripotency. Bhatia Program 👉 bit.ly/46D9GqT

McMaster University researcher Mick Bhatia (Bhatia Program), from McMaster Biochemistry & Biomedical Sciences, has devised a new method to detect cancer stem cells in previously treated leukemia patients before the disease can recur. LEARN MORE: ow.ly/Xe7B50P7LHR

In today's media digest from @McMaster (McMaster Health Sciences): A fast, effective way to detect #cancer stem cells "We are all still recovering from COVID-19, but cancer never stopped and is on the rise. We need to get back to business on this disease." brighterworld.mcmaster.ca/articles/mcmas…

Here’s our cellfie in honour of Oct4 day! #formerembryos

A huge congratulations to one of our first year MSc students, Paige Johnson, on winning best MSc oral presentation! 🎉
